This book offers a concise and accessible introduction to his work
and thought, ideal for students coming to his philosophy for the
first time. John Searle is one of the most important and
influential analytic philosophers working today. He has made
significant contributions to the fields of the philosophy of
language and the philosophy of mind. This concise and accessible
book provides a critical review of Searle's philosophical themes.
While Searle began his career as a philosopher of language, this
book proceeds thematically, starting with a review of Searle's
general ontological commitments. His conception of the mental is
then located within that general framework. A theory of
intentionality sets the stage for Searle's accounts of action,
rationality, freedom, language, and social reality. Searle weaves
together this broad array of topics by means of a set of
theoretical and methodological assumptions. Part of the task of
this book is to articulate some of those unifying tendencies, while
locating Searle within the history of analytic philosophy. In
addition to comparing Searle's views to those of his interlocutors,
the book also attempts to identify changes in those views, as
articulated over the course of Searle's career. "The Continuum
Contemporary American Thinkers" series offers concise and
accessible introductions to the most important and influential
thinkers at work in philosophy today. Designed specifically to meet
the needs of students and readers encountering these thinkers for
the first time, these informative books provide a coherent overview
and analysis of each thinker's vital contribution to the field of
philosophy. The series is the ideal companion to the study of these
most inspiring and challenging of thinkers.
